I am whoever I say I am.

The name is Mindy -- or Min-D as some friends like to say, or even MSkut (hybrid of my first and last name) -- and I'm a newspaper reporter just outside Charlotte, NC. I started this blog in April 2008 as a means of expanding my horizons and moving away from the "woe is me, here's what is happening in my life" blogging. Instead, I tried out the "hey, look how witty I can be" and the "this is what I have to say about 'insert topic here'" kind, and so far, it's worked pretty well. But there's much ground still to cover!

Yours truly...!!

Delve into the past.

Grace in Small Things: 38/365

Feb. 1, 2010
1. Didn't get to go to D.C. (stupid snow!), but had a FABULOUS weekend anyway.
2. Played in the snow - with my dog - for the first time in at least 10 years.
3. Went shopping yesterday!
4. Unburied my car from the inches of snow and ice this morning.
5. Leftover Olive Garden tonight. Yummmmm.

A little extra insight into yours truly.

I had intended on writing this blog post nearly ten days ago, but the thought kept escaping my brain just as I’d wander over to the Internet. But, better late than never…

Jan. 22 of this year marked the 37th anniversary of one of the most controversial court decisions in our nation’s history: Roe v. Wade.

It was on that day in 1973 that abortions became legal throughout this country, dismissing any previously held state or federal regulations regarding the procedure. And that specific court-case determination has ruled abortion policies for nearly four decades.

…37 years, and yet some people seriously believe that this “fundamental right” will become overturned some day? I find that baffling.

As an individual who very strongly supports a woman’s right to choose, I simply wanted to make note of this anniversary.

A recent Supreme Court ruling made it legal for Supreme Court Justices to overturn previous rulings that weren’t unanimous. This paves the way toward potentially being able to overturn this very important decision, where previously it was illegal to amend rulings of the past.

No part of me thinks this will be overturned – and women’s rights surely won’t be. I guess I find issue with people bringing religious values to the abortion argument. Once you leave faith out of it, I can’t see any reason to deny the right to choose.
